I guess we’ve been negligent on this front. So here are a few pictures. First, an old one (October 28) of somebody that I hardly recognize having great fun with one of my potatoes:
Moving on to more recent photos:
And we had a cute — albeit slightly less chubby than Katherine — visitor recently:

Is this a relative of the praying mantis family? The camouflage is truly remarkable – at first glance it simply looks like a twig!
Thanks for the K pictures – this grandmother thinks her granddaughter is a doll!
At first I wasn’t sure who had written this post… until I came across the stickbug along with the descriptor “cute” – clearly not an Erin post. 🙂
In any case, Katherine is adorable and that is the strangest-looking potato I have ever seen. 🙂

No, I don’t think that stick insects and praying mantises are all that closely related. But it’s such an effective camouflage that it had to be used more than once.
And anybody that wants to is welcome to come peel potatoes. They are quite tasty.
